About the Artwork
The camellias painted on this bowl are wild camellias. By drawing the leaves abstractly using straight lines, the beauty of the flowers stand out. Five types of zaffer are blended and used for the underglaze painting applied with special brushes for drawing bold lines and fine-pointed brushes.

Techniques Used
Blue underglaze
Blue and white porcelain (sometsuke) is made by painting blue underglaze decorations on white bisque-fired pottery using a cobalt-rich pigment known as zaffer (gosu). The piece is then coated with a transparent glaze and fired. This technique for making blue and white porcelain has been used in China since around the twelfth century during the Yuan Dynasty.
